Red light comes on when inserting paper?

After some heavy shredding the red light came on. Now it won't go off. After resting for days, the red light comes on as soon as paper is inserted in the slot, and activating the paper sensors. A faint click is heard as the light comes on. When the red light comes on, the motor will not start, and paper will not feed. Is it possible to disable the "overtemp sensor" and make the motor run?
